I was 13 when Nixon was elected President. I was a Republican because my parents were Republicans (very conservative ones). Within a year I was a Democrat. I had listened to what Nixon and especialy Agnew had to say in their first year in office and I realized I could not be in the same party as these men. By 1972 I was working for George McGovern. When I saw how Nixon and his crew had subverted democracy I came to hate the man. I never thougth I could hate any politician as much as Nixon. In the 1980's got into fierce arguments with some of my friends who said that Reagan was much worse than Nixon. Since I so dearly loved our country, our freedom, and our democracy I knew that Nixon was the most despicable man to every occupy the White House. That was until 2001.
By then I had seen an unqualified individual along with his deceitful running mate and crew steal an election. We all know everything that has happened since 2001. That has only made my feelings stronger. This man is the worst President in my 49 years and 11 months on earth. He is making my country and our world a much worse place for my two children.
There is no contest in my book. Bush II is the one.
I am interested in the opinion of those who have lived through both regimes.
